On Saturday, August 23, 50 Montverde Academy Upper School students stepped up in a big way, traveling to the Central Florida Fairgrounds to participate in Light Orlando’s annual Hunger Project. Their mission? To help pack one million meals in a single day for families facing food insecurity across Central Florida.
Among the volunteers were athletes from the junior varsity and varsity volleyball teams, led by Coach Jola Graham, who saw the event as a powerful team-building opportunity. Other students were allowed to sign up to volunteer for this event as well. The school provided transportation, and the bus rolled out at 7:30 am, filled with students ready to make a difference.
Over 2,500 volunteers gathered for the event, energized by music from a live DJ and united by a shared purpose.
